In Cooking Express: Cooking Chef, the player must serve food and drinks to guests in a restaurant. Over time, the player must develop their hunting shop while also creating new recipes. They must also complete various challenges to complete each level's mission and earn a monetary reward. Additionally, they must work with a female character in the restaurant. Throughout the game, the female protagonist stands in the kitchen. All you need to do is interact with food you want to prepare; this causes it to automatically cook. You don’t even have to wait long for a result. Once the dish is complete, you must remove it from the stovetop so it doesn't burn. The character will automatically move to a specific location at your command. They can serve two dishes at once with one hand.

In the first Cooking Express game, Cooking Chef, you can see a progress bar at the top of the screen. This indicates how close the level is to being finished. You need to give food and drinks to guests so they can be satisfied. Keep track of any changes to your original goals. Avoid irritating guests by extending any delays in service. Over time, you'll improve your ability to react quickly. As you enter the world of cooking games, you'll quickly realize how many ingredients and foods you can prepare. This means your kitchen will quickly become cluttered, and it can be difficult to move between areas in a given menu. Additionally, players must deal with the patience bar for each guest that visits their restaurant. This is because it gradually increases in difficulty to complete each step along the way. When starting the game, the patience bar will not appear. Just to establish progress, a player must complete the bar; new dishes and drinks will appear that grant more progress every time a guest eats or drinks. Correct preparation is key to making the dish guests receive— and leaving guests prompts players to prepare again— since resources drop when a guest leaves. This prevents players from completing the level until those resources drop.

In the Cooking Express game, players face increasing difficulty levels. They won’t know what they’re up against and should prepare food and drinks in the game. In order to prepare food, they require basic kitchen tools and ingredients. As a result, requiring an upgrade is crucial for later levels as they struggle with both tasks at the same time. Different in-game products have different upgrade possibilities and effects. Check the list below to see which upgrades you can perform and what their effects are. Thanks to materials, you can earn a lot more money to upgrade your game. Kitchen utensils speed up the cooking process, reducing your guests' waiting time. Players appreciate the cooking game play they experience thanks to its impressive nature. You run a restaurant that regularly hosts many patrons who wish to complete each level. Each quest involves purchasing meals and drinks. A patience bar encourages you to finish your shift on time; it's part of a system of levels that you'll go through. You can prepare a large number of dishes and beverages. Achieving this feat requires careful consideration when assigning each one. A new system of additional items appears that can be enhanced to the best performance level to complete the level in the best way. Choose which upgrades to keep or cancel based on their effects, such as faster cooking times or increased money. ———
